"There was a pickup artist who met a girl, and within 15 minutes they were having sex in the bathroom," says Neil Strauss.

"They're now married."

"On the other hand, I'm sure there are plenty of girls who have guys who want to sleep with them; they chase them and chase them for weeks or months, and once they get the sex it's over."

Strauss is telling me a story - one I've heard many times before - as we share the backseat of a cab to JFK.

We had just exited our own New York marathon - one that went 36 hours and featured a select crop of hand-picked models and the world’s most elusive pick up artists - and Strauss was on his way back home to Los Angeles.
